Construction of More Ships.
speeial TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3l-The House committee
on naval affairs are earnestly working to formu-
late bill to authorize the construction of addi-
tional ships for the navy. The several PROPOSE
tions presented to the House are being consid-
cred by subcommittee, and it is understood
that q bill will be ready to report next week, di-
rectne the expenditure of $40 OOO 600 in the con-
struction of additional cruisers and torpedo

proposed bill Chairman Herbert hopes to get a
bill before the House this week. with the unani-
nous Endorsement of bis committee, and have 1t
disposed of by the House some day next week
The sentiment in favor of increasing the navy
has been strengthened by recent events, and if
the House will give one day week to considera-
tion of such measure it is believed it will re-
ceive affirmative action in both branches Of Con-
greSs.

They Will Not Be Constructed Before We
Obtain Coast Defenses and Navy.
special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-s"The passage Of the
Mexican pension bill. and the demand for coast
defenses and a new navy will cut off the prac-
tice OF constructing government buildings
throughout the country said member of the
House committee on public buildings and
grounds this morning. Congress has been in
the habit of making appropriations for public
buildings at cities of about twenty thousand in
habitants and sometimes under, but that will
not be in the future. The President has been
vetoing bills for cities which have not United
States courts and other institutions maintained
by the government; but the citizens of those
places wanting public buildings have been in
stituting terms of courts for the sole purpose of
overcoming this presidential objection l be-
ieve that the day is not far distant when all
second-cass postofices-yes, thirdclass post
offices will have buildings constructed by the
government but it will be after we have coast
defenses and q navy We can build these at
cost of hundred millions, and recover from the
outlay within decade. Then the public build
ing business, which is popular way of making
government investments, will begin anew"
There are on the calendar of the House num-
ber of public building bills which are being urged
for passage, but one hears on every hand just
such protests and arguments AS the above, and
the chances very slim for anything being
done with Them The demand for defense
against hostile nation is such now that it can
not be overlooked Members of both houses re-
alze that the Iext congressional campaign will
that it will go hard with those who have records
against it.

ance should be given. The reason why
aid was not rendered last season was
due to the long correspondence which had taken
place between Canada and England. and to the
fact that by the time the imperial authorities
had settled on their policy the fishing season had
nearly expired. pointed out to this gentleman
the special cablegram appearing in the Mail. in
which the Under Foreign Secretary had been
made to say that the Canadian Cabinet had made
a proposition which, from the liberality of its
character, is likely to contribute to settlement
of the dispute. If from this the inference is TO
be drawn that the Dominion government has re-
ceded from the position it has taken all along as
to Its rights based on the treaty of 1878. there is
mistake mewhere. have it on good author
ty that the government still adheres to the policy
it has frequently announced, and it is reported
that no offer of the kind the cablegram speaks of
has beer made.

CHICAGO, JAN 31.-DisapDointment in love

a German actor. twenty nine years old. His dead
body was found this evening, in the property
room of Miller's Hall. small theater on North
avenue He had shot himself in the right
temple. A note beside him explained that Miss
Reamer. soubrette in the same theater, was
the woman in the case. Sunday night Beeh
was rendered benefit. In her part, Miss
Reamer was required to play love scene with
another actor, of whom Beeh seems to have been
jealous. He requested her not to display any
more fervor toward her stage lover than was ab-
solutely necessary. Despite his request she ex-
hibited decided ardor, at least Beeh so thought.
He is supposed to have killed himself immedi-
ately after the audience and actors left the

assent and active concurrence of the adminstra-
tion They therefore, determined to forward

tary Manning. Secretary Manning is specfcal-
ly asked for an expression Of his views and pref
erence on the bills submitted, as bearing upon
the interests submitted by law to his supervis-
ion, and both the Secretary of the Treasury
and Secretary of State are asked to
suggest any notifications which may seem to
them desirable in either of the measures. The
earliest possible reply is solicited. There is an
unauthorized whisper that one inspiration of
this course had been the fact that recent action

been resented by the administration as having
been taken in violation of long established usage

Speculation as to the Political Effect of the
Rejection of Matthews.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-There has been a
great deal of talk here within the past few days
to the probable political effect of the rejection
by the Senate of the nomination of j. c. Mat
thews, of Albany, whom the President has
twice tried to make recorder OF deeds for the
District of Columbia. Democrats generally are
of the opinion that the action of the Senate will
lead to stampede Of the negro vote to the DEM
ocratic party. The fact that the Senate acted in
accord with the plank in the Democratic platform
which declared for home rule in the Territories
and the District of Columbia will not they think.
enter into the consideration Of the matter at all.
The cofored voters will be told that Democratic
President tried to appoint colored man to
good Office, and Republican Senate stood in his
way This they think will be sufficient to STAN
pede the greater portion Of that vote. Repub-
licans. on the other hand, say that the President
has appointed only one African who has been re-
jected and that there are hundred places in
which he might be put with the approval of the
Senate. II Cleveland really desires to provide
for colored men they will aid him, provided he
selects places at or near their homes. They DO
not think this case will hurt the party.

NEW YORK, Aug. l2-The Sun, tomorrow,

Gus efforts will be made to administer

of doubt. public administration
upon the effects would be very serious
matter for good many people. Assignee
Cromwell was disinchned to talk about the in
terest that District Attorney Mortimer has
taken in the affairs of Ives g. Co. He said that
the people whom he represented. that is the
creditors, wanted to get their money, and he
was the man to help them. In speaking of
the matter to others he indicated that Ives
& Co. would defend their depletion of the rail-
road treasury upon the ground that they were
legally in possession of the securities used and
the money invested and in their official capacity
had the power to do what they did In dis
cussing the validity of the e. Dayton Chicago
bonds 81. $50, 900 of which were used as coll
lateral after the issue had been rescinded by the
company Mr. Cromwell admitted to one of
the creditors that these bonds ought not
to have been used The present hope of Ives
and his friends is to get all of these
irregularlv issued securities back into the
several treasures before any one interested,
like a minority stakeholder, brings an action.
If the secured loans can be put off, this be
done. although it is doubtful if this any
similar transaction can obiiterate the evidence
